For just the third time since the franchise moved to Brooklyn in 2012 and for the first time in more than four years, the Brooklyn Nets beat the slumping San Antonio Spurs on Monday night, opening a three-game homestand with a solid 101-85 victory.
The Nets (32-30) picked up their first back-to-back wins in a month with the victory. Brooklyn hadn’t won consecutive games since winning six straight games from Jan. 14-25, while beating San Antonio (33-29) for the first time since Dec. 3, 2014, and ending the Spurs’ string of seven straight victories of the series.
